Yeah, yeah … we know … “Blondes have more fun.”
Whatever.
I disagree.
I remember, when I was young, always liking the brunette characters of every TV show rather than the blonde (because I was a brunette little girl wanting to feel like I was just as pretty). Most blondes were portrayed as the “pretty and not-so-smart” ones, while the brunettes were the ones with more “intelligence and not-so-cute.”
I disagreed even then.
I thought the brunettes were just as pretty.
I chose Kelley over Jill … Jackie Rush over Sarah Rush … Janet over Krissy … Shirley over Lavergne. (And if you know all the TV shows I’m talking about, you’re pretty good.)
But, let me tell you something … I favored blondes yesterday.
Actually … blondies.
This cookbook contains one of the best recipes for blondies EVER.
And, here it is.
And, here’s where I actually give you the recipe because it’s so delicious. Even more delicious hot out of the oven, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The Best Blondies
1 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped pecans (I actually will use a little less than a cup next time.)
1 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup toffee or caramel baking bits (I used chopped Skor bars.)
Vanilla ice cream
Line the bottom of a 12 x 9 baking pan with parchment paper. Spray sides of pan with non-stick vegetable spray and set aside. In a large bowl mix together butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt; mix in remaining ingredients. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes . Allow to cool in pan before cutting into bars. MUST ADD ICE CREAM! Makes 1 dozen.
You can thank me later.
Now … someone needs to come up with an equally delicious brunie recipe.
Totally agree on the brunettes/blondes topic.
Gooseberry Patch has the best recipes… but I'm trying to diet. 🙁 These will have to wait. Boo!
I totally agree on the whole "blondes are better" theory. I honestly don't know what all the hype is about. (this coming from a natural brunette since birth–scratch the grays) And all those t.v shows…yep I watched all except one. Please enlighten me on who the Rush women are. 🙂 p.s. your killin' me with all these recipes woman!LOL
